A Nochelle Love

Chapter 13

Just saying that the girl up there is supposed to be Amber.

Noah's pov
Right now me and Richelle are holding hands in the waiting room of the hospital because Amber is having some tests run on her and an x-ray. I can't believe what Josh did to her.
"Hey Richelle, do you think that Josh did it on purpose? Because I do. The way he laughed at her when she was in so much pain was awful." I say.
"Yes I think that he did do it on purpose. When you go back to work tomorrow I want you to have a word with him." She replies.
"Of course I will."
I can see tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry Richelle, she's going to be ok." I say reassuringly and give her a kiss on the cheek.
"What if she isn't what if-" Richelle gets cut off as Amber walks towards us on her crutches with the doctor behind her.
"You can take her home but you must look after her really well. She can't put any pressure on it for six weeks or she will permanently injure it. That means no dance." Said the doctor.
"Thank you doc." I say and grab Richelle's hand and we all head back to the car. This reminds me of when Richelle had a bad leg at christmas and we walked out of the doctors in silence, just like this.
I drive home and Richelle sits in the back with Amber to keep her company.
"How does it feel?" Asks Richelle.
"Not that great. I can't believe that this happened on my birthday." Amber replies.
"Amber why was Josh laughing when he dropped you?" I ask.

Amber's pov
I think that I need to tell them.
"Well because he doesn't like me. He and the rest of J troupe all bully me. They say that I only got in because my dad is the choreographer there. They always say that I'm a terrible dancer and person. That I shouldn't be dancing at The Next Step. They tell me I'm a waste of space and air." I start crying. Mum hugs me.
"Oh my God Amber! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Dad yelled.
I just kept crying.
"Noah! Don't shout!" Mum said.

Richelle's pov
I can't believe what Amber is going through right now. I'm in shock. I also can't believe that Noah is blaming Amber for this mess. I mean yeah, I get it, if she had told us sooner then this would have been prevented but I know that if you're being bullied then it's tough to come out and tell someone. So I really don't know why Noah shouted at her like that.
"Why didn't you tell one of your friends sweetie?" I say trying to be nicer than Noah was.
"What friends?" Amber replies, still sobbing.
"One of your school friends." Noah says.
"I don't have any school friends or friends." She says.
"Why don't you make some friends then?" I say.
"Because no one wants me to be their friend plus they have all already got all their groups." She says.
Me and Noah try to calm her down from crying so much and she eventually stops crying. Then we arrive back home.
Noah helps Amber get out of the car.

Noah's pov
Right now I'm getting Amber out the car. This moment is just like when I helped Richelle get out the car when she hurt her leg. I keep remembering those moments. Richelle was so sad at that moment. I suddenly drop Amber by accident.
"Owww!" She yells out in pain.
Richelle runs over to her.
"Are you ok sweetie?" She says to Amber and gently lifts her up.
"De ja vou?" She says to me.
"Yeah." I reply nervously.
"It's ok." Richelle says to me.
"I'm sorry Amber." I say.
Then we go inside and to bed.
